The course examines twentieth century Britain and explores the changes that affected society during that time. Beginning with the Edwardian period of the early 1900s, the course traces the development of Britain through the various eras that characterized what was a tumultuous century both at home and abroad.

Topics include World War I, the 1920s, The Great Depression, World War II, the labor government and welfare state, the 1950s and political consensus, the 1960s and 1970s, and social and cultural changes during the Thatcher era.
